Yes, this has come up a number of times, however we have up until now always
decided to keep things as simple as possible in the interests of reliability
and ease of support.
That said however, Radiator 2.15 has a new Hook type - a StartupHook - that
runs once at run time (or restart). The idea here is that people such as
yourself who would like to add special handling or particular features will be
able to do so using this facility.
On the topic of your configuration file - there is a way of simplifiying lots
of AuthBy's like this:
# define AuthBy's once - each with a different Identifier
<AuthBy LDAP2>
Identifier ldap.server
Host ldap.oleane.net
</AuthBy>
# use the AuthBy Identifier form in Realms and Handlers
<Realm one-of-many>
AuthBy ldap.server
</Realm>
<Realm another-of-many>
AuthBy ldap.server
</Realm>
